524 Words3 Pages

-Classification An unnamed teen had been charged with 2 counts of second degree murder and one count of arson causing bodily harm. The maximum sentence for a youth commiting second degree murder is 7 years and the maximum sentence for a a youth committing arson causing bodily harm (disregard for human life) has a maximum sentence of life. -Summary `The teenager at the time was 17 and living in a foster home. She was diagnosed with schizophrenia and fetal alcohol syndrome and was known for violent outbursts she also had been abusing alcohol at a young age. When she had recently learnt that once she became 18 she wouldn’t be able to go back to her original home she had an emotional outburst and she ran upstairs. While upstairs she then set …show more content…

Even though she didn't want to kill anyone it’s pretty obvious that her actions lead to the death of both Andrea Reid and Kassandra Finbow. Any normal or sane person would obviously know that setting a fire indoors is a dangerous and stupid thing do, the teen however didn't even think it through.The teen was also in the right state of mind during the incident as there was no indications of the teen being intoxicated and no signs of schizophrenia was present. The crown proposed a 25 month and 21 days sentence with 19 months and 21 days in custody then followed by 6 months under community supervision after noting the teen’s time that she was in custody for and the fact that she had 6 previous convictions for violent offences. The crown wanted to punish the teen for her actions in hopes that she’ll reflect on what her actions lead to, and to assist with the teen’s problems. In my own opinion the sentence is reasonable, the 25 months and 21 days in prisons will help the unnamed teenager reflect her actions and be punished for her actions and the 6 months under community supervision will give her an opportunity to show that she had learnt her mistakes. The sentences was also not as hash as the unnamed teen had plead guilty and showed some level of remorse towards the victims not to mention she was still a teenager when she commited the

IS THE YOUTH CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACT TOO LENIENT ON YOUTHS? The Youth Criminal Justice Act is the federal legislation that replaced the young offenders act in 2003. The Department of Justice defines the act by stating: It is the law that governs the Canadian youth justice systems. It applies to youth who are at least 12 years old but under the age of 18, who are alleged to have committed criminal offences. The three main topics in which I believe to be most crucial that relates to the Youth Criminal Justice Act include, how much time a youth must serve based on the degree of the crime especially when the crime committed was well planned out, the severity of the ruling based on a re-offence,

The Ethan Couch Affluenza Case

1597 Words | 7 Pages

Manslaughter is a 2nd degree felony which in Texas an offender can spend 2 – 20 years in prison. Regardless of the laws in Texas Ethan pleaded guilty to four counts of intoxicated manslaughter and only received 10 years’ probation and inpatient treatment. I think that the judge in this case should have at least given the teen the maximum which is 20 years. Not only because that is what he deserved but because nothing will bring back the lives he took away and the pain and suffering from all those families including the injured individuals. I think that instead the offender could have received some type of restorative justice from inside the prison, for example been given the victim-offender mediation, along with monetary compensation to the victims.
